Sat, 23 Sep 2017 21:40:20 +0000http://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/?p=386#comment-76I’ve tried Firefox recently and sadly did not find it was as good and certainly not better then Chrome, Edge, or even Opera. I think Firefox has alienated a ton of users who just moved on to Chrome. Is there any reason to switch back? Probably not.

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:11:47 +0000http://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/?p=101#comment-43I totally agree with those points 🙂 it’s wrong to think that Linux and Apple do not need some kind of protection. I think if Apple said that themse

Windows is naturally going to have far many reports / attacks than any other OS due to the number of of installations out there.

My only quibble was with the way that report presented the data – I’m genuinely curious to see which of the OSX versions is hol(e)iest 😉

Andriod is indeed conspicuous by its abscence from the report…. As someone else commented on the report – perhaps the cell value in Excel doesn’t go high enough 😉 “NaN”.

I can see where they’re coming from – the almost totally locked down nature means less (not) likely to get viruses, etc… This is all well and good – however, never say never … OSX however isn’t locked down – and is probably subject to similar hacks to those used in Linux, etc.

Wasn’t it Apple that said a few years ago how you didn’t need an Anti-Virus package on a Mac?

That was always a lie, but you are far more likely to be attacked as a Windows user than an OS X user as the virus writers will target the biggest market share.

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:58:49 +0000http://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/?p=101#comment-41Interesting article – I have a query over how the stats are grouped. There are at least 3 versions of OSX which are still supported – yet the OSX numbers are grouped but the Windows numbers are broken out. Grouping the windows (desktop only) numbers gives a total number of vulnerabilities of 172… and a total number of high vulnerabilities of 118.

I’d like to see the breakdown of the OSX numbers, not saying they’d necessarily be better but it would paint a fairer picture perhaps … 🙂

Yes I do use OSX 🙂 but the other three quarters of my home machines are Windows 7 & 8… 😉

Fri, 06 Dec 2013 15:24:36 +0000http://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/?p=58#comment-4Well, on Tuesday afternoon, 3 working days after contacting the Microsoft support team, I contacted them again to find out why I hadn’t heard anything back.

Again the guy I spoke to was apologetic and said that the response time I should have been quoted was 3 to 5 working days (not 2-3 as I had previously been told).

It’s 15:20 on day 6 now, still nothing.

Oh Microsoft, you were doing so well…

]]>Comment on Burn Out? by lopta (@lopta)https://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/burn-out/comment-page-1/#comment-2
Thu, 05 Sep 2013 04:48:37 +0000http://imoritaltech.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-2This morning I was talking to a couple of friends at work and a question surfaced about whether two or three of our offices might merge within the next few years. There would probably be efficiency benefits for the company and it might improve internal communication. I shrugged with the realisation that given today’s climate, none of us really know where we’re going to be in five years. I told them I was just trying to enjoy my job while it lasts.

Later in the day I read a Facebook post by another friend, who talked about how much she enjoys working at her university. Immediately I wanted to ask whether she was “waiting for the other shoe to drop”, which may be an American expression. I wonder whether she finds herself waiting to be disappointed as I think I have been waiting over the last year. It has not been without its frustrations but none of them have been show-stoppers.

The supervisor at that place with the geese may not have believed me when I wrote in my resignation letter that I’d agonised over the decision to move on. Perhaps she believed me but was past caring because the team was losing people faster than they could screen new applicants. Worried as I was that the new job might turn out to be a disappointment, I took the leap.

You’ve worked bloody hard to hone your software development skills. You deserve an employer who values them (and you) enough to let you do what you’re good at doing. They’ll get a less frustrated employee and who knows, perhaps the company you’re with now will end up with a more interested Business Analyst.
